HISTORICAL SKETCH 



©G=ayK©5fl m ©t®©g^©^d©©[ 



This church owes its origin and support for many years to missionary 
zeal excited towards the remnant of the Muhhekaneew, or Stockbridge 
Indians. These hved in different places on the Housatonic river, in Massa- 
chusetts and Connecticut, and more in vai'ious places within the limits of 
New-York. The immediate cause of the interest in their favor was that 
KoNKAPOT, the principal Indian on the Housatonic, in Massachusetts, was 
known to be favorably disposed towards the Christian religion. He lived in 
Stockbridge, and was regarded by his acquaintances as a man of worth, 
strictly temperate, honest in his dealings, prudent and industrious in his 
business; and it was strongly hoped that, under proper instruction, he 
would become a decided Christian, and that many others connected with 
him would be brought into the kingdom of God. Rev. Samuel Hopkins, a 
worthy minister of the gospel in West Springiield, was greatly affected by 
the state of this Indian, and was determined that he and others should be 
taught the truths of Christianity. He consulted Col. John Stoddard on the 
subject, who knew more about the Indians in Massachusetts than any other 
man, having been often emploj'cd by Government in affairs respecting them. 
He said these Indians were the largest tribe of Aborigines near the English 
settlements, and that they were not under the influence of French Catholics, 
as Indians in some other parts of the land were. He thought a missionary 
might be very profitably employed among them. He consulted also Rev. 
Stephen Williams, of Long Meadow, who, when young, was carried captive 
to Canada with his father. Rev. John Williams of Deerfield, and knew well 
how much the Indians needed instruction in the gospel, and how they were 
misled by Jesuits in Canada. He was ready to cooperate with Mr. Hopkins. 
Through these men the matter was brought before the Honorable and Rev. 
Commissioners for Indian Affairs in Boston, of whom his Excellency, Jona- 
than Belcher, British Governor of Massachusetts, and Rev. Dr. Benjamin 
Colman, were the most active and influential. This was in the spring of 
1734. The Commissioners at once took an interest in the matter, appointed 
a committee to consult the Indians on the Housatonic living in Stockbridge 



4 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

and Sheffield, " whether they were willing a minister should be sent to them 
to instruct them in the Christian religion, to teach their children to read," 
&c. These Indians, after thinking on the subject four daj^s, " all gave in 
their names, and signified their desire that a minister should be sent to 
them for the end proposed." 

While these proceedings were taking place, the Lord was preparing a man 
to preach the gospel to these heathen. Mr. John Sergeant, a native of 
Newark, N. J., a graduate of Yale College, and a tutor in that institution, a 
candidate for the ministry, had freely said, before any application was made 
to him, that " he had rather be employed as a missionary to the Natives 
than to accept a call any English parish might give him." A committee, 
appointed by the Commissioners to engage a minister, informed of this 
declaration, and well assured of his. fi'tness for the work, applied to Mr. 
Sergeant. He had already been a tutor nearly three years, and wished to 
aid his pupils through their remaining year; and if we consider that his 
class consisted of twenty-four young men, and that among them there were 
such persons as James Lockwood, who afterwards became the pastor of the 
church in Wethersfield, and was offered the presidency of Yale College ; as 
Aaron Burr, who became the President of Princeton College ; and as Joseph 
Bellamy, the distinguished minister of Bethlehem, Conn., we need not 
wonder that his heart, as much as it felt for the mission, felt also strongly 
for these youth. He agreed, however, to undertake the mission, provided 
the Eector and Trustees of the College would approve of his spending about 
half the year with the Indians, and living the other half at College. To this 
the Rector and Trustees acceded ; and during this year, in three visits at 
different periods which Mr. Sergeant made them, he did much to secure 
their affections, and there was evidence that on some minds saving influences 
were bestowed. 

But it was apparent at the outset that the Indians' living in two places, 
eight or ten miles apart, would be a serious inconvenience about their 
attendance upon public worship on the Sabbath, particulai-ly in the winter 
season, and against the regular attendance of the children at school. As a 
partial remedy for these inconveniences, they agreed to dwell in the winter 
season in temporary buildings, erected between the two settlements, and to 
attend worship there also in a temporary building. But as Mr. Sergeant 
was to be at College half of this year, Mr. Timothy "Woodbridge, son of Rev. 
John Woodbridge, of West Springfield, deceased, was engaged to come for 
the winter, and instruct the Indians in a catechetical way, and also to teach 
school. His services were needed afterwards ; and being a superior young 
man, he was long employed as a school teacher, and became a permanent 
settler, and a very influential and prominent inhabitant of the town. 

On the first of July, 1735, Mr. Sergeant (having dismissed his class) left 
New-Haven, intending to spend the rest of the summer, and indeed of his 
life, with the Indians at Uousatonic, arriving there on the 5th. Mr. Wood- 
bridge and he then went on as they had done before at a preceding visit 
about May, as to keeping school, one teaching in Stockbridge, and the other 
in Shefiield, changing places with each other weekly. 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 5 

The subject of being ordained had occupied Mr. Sergeant's mind, that he 
might administer divine oi'dinanccs. Dr. Cohnan and Governor Belcher 
favored it, and Providence opened the vray for his ordination, Avith the pros- 
pect of good, not only to the tribe to which he was to minister, but to other 
tribes with whom the Governor was about to hold a treaty at Dcerfield. 
The Commissioners agreed that he should be ordained on that occasion ; and 
the service was performed on the Sabbath, August 31, 1735, in the presence 
not only of the assembly usually worshipping there, but in the presence 
of the Governor and a large committee of both houses of the Legislature, 
and many Indians interested in the treaty. The Muhhekaneews sat by 
themselves, and formally received him as their minister. The sermon was 
preached by Dr. Nathaniel Appleton, of Cambridge, one of the most dis- 
tinguished ministers in Massachusetts during the last century. This was 
published. Rev. William Williams took part in the solemnities, and Rev. 
Dr. Williams gave the right hand of fellowship and administered the charge. 

In the autumn following, Mr. Sergeant was greatly encouraged by success 
in his labors. Hence, in a letter to his friend, Dr. Colman, under date of 
November 18, 1735, he says, "God has been pleased to crown our labors 
with surprising and unexpected success. I have baptized almost forty per- 
sons, infants and adults." Among these were Captain Konkapot and 
Lieutenant Umpachenee, whom the Governor had previously honored with 
commissions. He had also baptized their wives and children, as well as 
some other families of superior standing and influence in the tribe. "I 
hope," he adds, " that the adults have a pretty good understanding of the 
main and fundamental doctrines of the holy religion into which they have 
been baptized. And I always endeavored to possess their minds with the 
most serious sense of what they were about when they entered themselves 
the disciples of Christ. Their whole hearts seemed to be engaged in the 
matter, and I have reason to think that the imperfection of their knowledge 
is made up by their zeal and integrity. Those who have been baptized 
have behaved very well, though they have been several times tempted to 
exceed the i-ules of temperance by offers of strong drink, which used to 
be their beloved destruction. They seemed to be surprised with the change 
they find in themselves ; expressing the difference between their former 
state and the present, by 'infancy' and 'manhood,' 'dreaming' and 'being 
awake,' 'darkness' and 'light,' and the like metaphors. I pray God,the 
Day-Star that seems to be arisen in their hearts, may shine more and more 
to the perfect dayP 

As the news of this success was spread abroad, it not only excited inter- 
est in New-England, but soon engaged the attention of some eminently 
pious and benevolent persons in the mother-country. 

The difficulties arising from the distance between the Indian settlements, 
which had led them, as a partial remedy, to erect buildings at an interme- 
diate site for the first winter, (and in which they also spent the second 
winter,) prompted the friends of the mission to inquire for a full and 
permanent relief, and one which should induce others, more remote, to 
unite with the Housatonic Indians. In these inquiries. Col. Stoddard 



6 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

appears to have taken the lead. Accordingly, he proposed a statement to be 
laid before the Indians, in January of the first wintei', in which he says, 
" There is a projection to get the most of the Great Meadow above the 
mountain of Housatonic [Monument Mountain] for the Indians, so that 
they may live together, and be able with convenience to attend the public 
worship, and to have a school at their doors, provided the Government can 
agree with the English who have lands there, and can suit them with lands 
elsewhere." 

It was very desirable that the Great Meadow should be secured for the 
Indians. Some of them already lived there ; it contained a considerable 
amount of such interval land as the Indians were in the habit of cultivating ; 
and the Housatonic river, in meanders through the meadow, (running five 
miles in passing three in a straight line,) furnished great advantages for 
fishing. It was protected in nearly all directions from the rage of the 
elements by mountains ; and these mountains abounded in game. But how 
to get possession of it legally and honorably, was the difficulty ; and this 
difficulty arose from various circumstances. Thirteen years previous to this 
time, the General Court had granted to 177 petitioners, living in the county 
of Hampshire, a large tract of land in the south-west corner of Massachu- 
setts, which, by the terms then used, and as the line between Massachusetts 
and New-York was finally found to run, fairly included the present 
townships of Sheffield, Egremont, Mount Washington, Great Barrington, 
and Alford, a considerable portion of Lee, and the greater part of Stock- 
bridge and West Stockbridge. The grant was designed for two townships ; 
which were for years spoken of as the Housatonic townships ; and before 
the mission began, the Indian titles to the included lands were very 
generally extinguished. English families had settled in Sheffield, and in 
the southern part of Great Barrington ; and some few Dutch families (for 
this town was settled in part by the Dutch) had located on or very near 
this meadow. Gov. Belcher felt the importance of the Indians living 
together and having a sufficiency of lands, and he adverted to the subject in 
an address to them at Deerfield. He brought it up afterwards before the 
General Court ; and a Committee was appointed, at the head of which was 
Col. Stoddard, " to weigh and consider all things and circumstances so as to 
accommodate the Indians with land in the best possible manner." Under 
th^wise proceedings of this committee, the lands above Monument Moun- 
tain were freed from all encumbrances, so that early in 1736, the General 
Court granted the Indians a township, which in April was laid out in an 
exact square, six miles in length and breadth. This included the present 
township of Stockbridge, within which is the " Great Meadow," and also 
the township of West Stockbridge. In the grant, it was provided that lots 
should be laid out for the missionary and schoolmaster, and, agreeably to 
the wishes of Mr. Sergeant, for four other persons who should be approved 
by Col. Stoddard, and should settle here for the purpose of aiding the 
pastor and teacher, particularly in the work of civilization. The grant of the 
town in this manner was admirable ; and in May of this year, some of the 
Indians moved into the town, with two families who were added to their 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 7 

number. The township was at this time formally confirmed to them ; and 
others moved in, in a few weeks ; so that by the close of June there were 
90 souls in the settlement. 

Nor did the kindness of the General Court stop here. Agreeably to the 
request of Mr. Sergeant, and of some of the Indians who waited upon their 
friend, Gov. Belcher, the Court, in Jan. 1737, passed an order, that a meet- 
ing-house 30 feet by 40, together with a school-house, should be built for 
them at the charge of the province. Some time elapsed before this order 
was fulfilled, probably owing to the difiiculty in procuring materials ; but 
the meeting-house was so far fitted for use, that on the day for public 
thanksgiving in the Commonwealth, Nov. 29, 1739, it was dedicated to the 
worship of Almighty God. This stood a few rods north-east of the site of 
the present South Meeting-house ; and it was the place of divine solemnities 
until 1785. The frame of this building is now the frame of a barn, half a 
mile west of its former locality, a humble memento of the blessed men who 
preached in it, and of the blessings which descended upon those who 
worshipped in it. The school-house stood near the dwelling of the writer. 

After the collection of the Indians in one place, and their accommodation 
with suitable public buildings, their prospects brightened. At first, indeed, 
there was no considerable increase of inhabitants ; for in March, 1740, the 
number of souls was but 120 : but afterwards families came in from various 
places. In the spring of 1744, the Indians from Kau-nau-meek, a small 
village on the flat about Brainerd's Bridge, six miles west of New-Lebanon, 
where David Brainerd labored about a year, moved here, agreeably, to the 
advice of that celebrated missionary. In January, 1747, there were nearly 
50 families in the settlement, and probably about 200 souls ; in July, 1749, 
53 families, and 218 souls. They were afterwards increased to about 400 ; 
and it is believed that at one time they were about 600 ; though, as far as is 
now known, 400 was about their average number for the greater part of the 
time in which they lived in this town. 

At first, Mr. Sergeant, of necessity, preached to the Indians by an 
interpreter, being unacquainted with their language. But as the disad- 
vantages of this mode were many, he applied himself diligently to study, 
and in August, 1737, began to deliver unto them, in their own language, 
the wonderful works of God ; and he afterwards made such proficiency in 
it, that the Indians were in the habit of saying that he spoke the language 
better than they did. 

This year. Col. Ephraim Williams, from Newton, and Mr. Josiah Jones, 
from Weston, two of the men expected to aid in the civilization of the 
Indians, emigrated to this town with their families. Joseph Woodbridge, 
brother of the school-teacher, another of the men, came here in 1739 or 
1740 ; and Ephraim Brown from the place called Spencer, probably about 
the same time. Mr. Brown did not remain here, but was succeeded by a 
cousin, Samuel Brown. 

Mr. Timothy Woodbridge was the first deacon in the church ; but Peter 
Pau-quau-nau-peet was associated with him ; and when the sacramental 



8 HISTOKICAL SKETCH. 

supper was first celebrated here, June 4, 1738, the English and Indian 
professors sat down together at the table of the Lord. 

The voices of the natives were found to be well adapted to sacred music, 
and their singing was much admired. 

In 1739, when it is supposed there were six English families collected 
here, the town was incorporated ; and after this, the civil officers of the 
town were elected from both classes of inhabitants. It is very evident that 
the town was called Stockbridge, after Stockbridge in the county of Hamp- 
shire, England, from the general resemblance of the scenery in the two 
places; Stockbridge in England being built upon the river Test, as our 
Stockbridge village is upon the Housatonic, both on level grounds, and the 
eastern and western road through each, remarkably corresponding with 
each other. 

The accession to the settlement of the four men just named, with their 
families, though much desired by the missionary and teacher, and propitious 
to the mission, greatly increased the labors of Mr. Sergeant ; for he had 
now to discharge the duties of a minister both to the Indians and to 
the EngHsh. "He began public worship on the Sabbath with a short, 
pathetic prayer for a blessing upon the Word, in both languages, and then 
read a portion of Scripture with explanatory notes and observations, 
also in both, on such passages as appeared to need them. All his public 
prayers, and the communion service, were in both languages ; and it was 
his constant practice to preach four sermons every Lord's day • — two to the 
English, and two to the Indians ; except on the cold days in the short 
season of winter, when he preached three — one to the English, and two to 
the Indians. Besides all this, in the summer season, it was his constant 
custom to spend about an hour with the Indians after divine service was 
over in the afternoon, instructing, exhorting, warning, cautioning theiri in a 
free, familiar, and pathetic manner, in their own language ; and in the winter 
season, he commonly met with them one evening in the week for religious 
exercises. His sermons and comments on passages of Scripture for the 
Indians were first written in English, and then translated into the Indian 
tongue. In the course of his reading to them, he translated the most 
important passages in the Old Testament, and the whole of the New 
Testsment, with the exception of the book of Revelations ; while, for the 
benefit of the English, he went through with the whole of the Epistles in 
a labored and learned paraphrase, with critical and practical observations, 
directly from the original language. In addition to this, he had the constant 
care of the Indians, and maintained an extensive correspondence." These 
services show that he was a very studious and faithful man. 

Nor is this all he did. In 1741, he projected the plan of a boarding-school, 
which was summarily this: that a tract of land of two hundred acres 
should be set aside for the use of the school, and a house erected upon it ; 
that a number of children and youth between the ages of 10 and 20 should 
be received, and placed under tlic care of two masters, one of whom should 
take the oversight of them in the hours of Icibor, and the other in the hours 



HISTOraCAL SKETCH. 9 

of Study; and that their thne should be so divided between labor and study, 
as to make one the diversion of the other ; that the fruit of their labor 
should go towards their support, and to carry on the general design ; and 
that a stock of cattle should be maintained on the place for the same 
purpose. It was also proposed to take into the number, on certain condi- 
tions, children from any of the tribes around, that, by their means, the 
principles of virtue and Christian knowledge might be spread as far as 
possible. 

This was a favorite plan with the inhabitants of the place, both Indian 
and English, and with the Commissioners and their friends in Boston. But 
before much was done, the occurrence of the first French War rendered it 
expedient that the subject should be postponed for a season. Still, the 
project was passed over the Atlantic to the Corporation for Indian Aflairs in 
London, and secured the favorable notice of such blessed men as Dr. Isaac 
Watts and Captain Thomas Coram, who exerted themselves to raise funds 
for the support of the school. The Prince of Wales headed the subscription 
with twenty guineas, and a few others, high in rank and oiBce, subscribed for 
it. Mr. Isaac Hollis made provision at first for supporting twelve boys, 
and afterwards for supporting twenty-four ; and he was so anxious that the 
children should be instructed immediately, that Mr. Sergeant took twelve 
under his care in 1748. But as it was not altogether safe for them to 
remain here during the war, he procured Capt. Martin Kellog, of Newington, 
in Wethersfield, Conn., to take them and instruct them for a year, he being 
well qualified for that service. In 1*749, the war being closed, a house for a 
boarding-school was erected on the southern end of the garden now belonging 
to the house of Mr. Thomas Wells. The heart of Mr. Sergeant was drawn 
exceedingly towards this school, and so was the heart of his successor, the 
first President Edwards, as we shall presently see. 

But no plans and efforts for doing good were security from disease and 
death. We shall however err, if we suppose that the usefulness of emi- 
nently good men ceases at death. That very goodness may be a reason for 
their removal, that they may enter upon a higher and wider sphere of use- 
fulness in heaven. 

On the last week in June, 1V49, Mr. Sergeant was seized with a nervous 
fever, attended with a canker and inflammation in the throat, which closed 
his life on the 27th of July, at the age of 39, and in the loth year of his 
ministry. Few persons have been as greatly beloved in life and lamented 
in death as was this distinguished servant of God. Not only were the Indian 
and English inhabitants of the town hearty mourners for him, but the 
fi-iends of the mission in New and in Old England. His temper was most 
sweet, his manners courteous, his talents, natural and acquired, superior, 
and his piety ardent and persevering. In epistolary writing he greatly 
excelled. But one of his sermons was printed. That was preached in 
Springfield before the associated pastors of the county of Hampshire, April 
'4, 1743, on the cause and danger of declension in the affairs of religion, 
and was published at the request of the hearers. 

The congregation was greatly increased under the ministry of Mr. Ser- 



10 HISTORICAL, SKETCH. 

geant. The Indians, through the blessing of God on his labors, and the 
labors of those associated with him, were rescued from various errors and 
vices, assumed to a good degree the habits of civilized life, acquired a stable 
character in society, and became regular attendants upon public worship. 
Fifty or sixty, who had become hopefully converted, were admitted to full 
communion by him, some of whom died in faith before him : 42 survived 
him. He baptized 182 natives, adults and infants. His services were also 
greatly useful to the English who settled here. He left a widow, the 
daughter of Col. Ephraim Williams, who was subsequently married to Brig.- 
Gen. Dwight ; and thi'ee children, — Electa, who was married to Col. Mark 
Hopkins, and was the grandmother of Pres. and Prof Hopkins ; Erastus, who 
was a distinguished physician in this town, and a deacon in the church ; and 
John, who became a missionary to the Indians before they left this town, 
and went with them to Stockbridge in New- York. 

At the date of Mr. Sergeant's death, there were twelve English families in 
town, viz.: his own family, the families of Timothy Woodbridge, of Col. "Wil- 
liams, of Josiah Jones, and of Joseph Woodbridge ; of Samuel Brown, of 
Samuel Brown, Jun., of Joshua Chamberlain, son-in-law of Samuel Brown, 
Jun., (from Spencer ;) of David Pixley, from Westfield ; of John Willard, 
from Canaan, previously from Wetliersfleld ; of John Taylor, and of Jacob 
Cooper, from West Springfield. 

Mr. Hopkins, of Great Barrington, afterwards Dr. Hopkins, was first 
appointed successor to Mr. Sergeant ; but he declined the appointment, and, 
among other considerations, in the hope that the Rev. Jonathan Edwards, 
his theological instructor and particular friend, then recently dismissed from 
Northampton, would accept the service. He was next appointed, and was 
installed as pastor of this church, Aug. 8, 1751. 

Mr. Edwards entered upon the same general course of instruction which 
his predecessor had pursued, though he was obliged to address the Indians 
through an interpreter ; and the prospect was exceedingly fair for a time of 
his being very useful to the Indians in this town, and to the Six Nations, 
families from which were expected to settle here, placing many children in 
the boarding-school. Directly after his settlement in this place, a large 
council from the Six Nations sat here, to consider the subject of sending 
their children to the school. After it was opened, Rev. Gideon Hawlcy, aftcr- 
terwards missionary at Marshpee, it is understood, instructed for a time. 
" He taught a few families of Mohawks, Oneidas, and Tuscaroras." Rev. 
Cotton Mather Smith, who afterwards settled in Sharon, Conn., (father of 
the late Gov. Smith, of that State,) also instructed it for a season. But 
arrangements for managing the school were never very thoroughly made ; 
and admirable as was the plan, and much as it promised, the occurrence of 
the second French war nearly destroyed it, so far as the Six Nations and 
their children were concerned. 

Notwithstanding this unhappy issue, however, in this school, in connection 
with the school of Mr. Woodbridge, a considerable number of Indians 
received a good education. A few also were instructed at the Indian Cha- 
rity School, at Hanover, N. H., and Peter Pauquaunaupeet was graduated in 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 11 

1780, at the college in that town. This Sir Pete?', as he was commonly 
called, was a man of good talents and character, and connected with Joseph 
Qua- nail -k aunt, Captain Ilendrick Aupaumut, and Capt. John Konkapot, in 
a council which, after the death of King Solomon, regulated the affairs of the 
tribe : for it is to be borne in mind that the Indians still kept up something 
more than a semblance of their ancient form of government. The regal 
power, it is said, (and this must be understood of the subject by custom,) 
belonged to Joseph Qua-nau-kaunt ; but being a very modest and unassuming, 
as well as sensible man, he chose not to be king, but wished the tribe to be 
governed by a council. The speech of one of the chiefs to the Massachu- 
setts Congress in 1775, in Brigham's Columbian Orator, tendering his 
services in the Revolutionary War, may be taken as a specimen of the talent 
and oratory which some of them possessed. 

But, unhappy as the second French War was, particularly to the pros- 
pects of the boarding-school, Mr. Edwards discharged the duties of a 
missionary with his wonted faithfulness, to the good acceptance of those 
who came under his charge, and to the satisfaction of the Commissioners. 
Besides the duties which he discharged more immediately to the mission, he 
here completed his greatest work, viz.: " The Inquiry concerning the Free- 
dom of the Will," which did more than any thing else to secure to him the 
reputation of being the greatest metaphysician which this country has ever 
produced. Here, too, he completed his treatise on Original Sin, and carried 
forward the " History of Redemption," and probably some other works. 
Had he remained at Northampton, it is questionable M^hether he would have 
been able to have prepared these important works for publication ; and this 
circumstance tends to show the wisdom of God in suffering him to be removed 
from that important station, where his labors had been blessed of Provi- 
dence to the spiritual good of a multitude of souls. 

But while pursuing his studies and labors in this sequestered spot and 
calm retreat, he was unexpectedly called, upon the decease of his son-in-law, 
the Rev. Aaron Burr, Sept. 24, 1757, to accept the Presidency of Princeton 
College ; which he did, in conformity with the advice of brethren in the 
ministry, and was accordingly dismissed, Jan. 4, 1758. But he had scarcely 
time to arrive at Princeton, to be inducted into oflBce, and to enter upon 
the duties of his new and important station, before the Lord called him, as 
there is abundant reason to believe, to a far higher station in the world of 
glory. He died on the 22d of March, 1758, in the 55th year of his age. 
The same grace which had sustained him in duty and in trial was suflBcient 
for him in his closing moments. 

No man has left behind him a fairer fiime than President Edwards. No 
one did more to promote orthodoxy and piety in the American churches. 
The prominent traits of his character, clear intelligence and ardent piety, 
are those excellences which will shine for ever in the redeemed. 

The records of the ministry of President Edwards in Stockbridge are lost. 
Great pains have been taken to find them, but without success. 

While professors of religion, both English and Indian, were benefited by 
his ministry, the probability is, that some from both classes of people 



12 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

were converted under his instructions. At the time of his dismission, the 
Indian families were reduced to forty-two, while the Enghsh were 
increased to eighteen. The following had been added to those already men- 
tioned, viz.: the family of Elihu Parsons ; his son-in-law, from Northampton ; 
that of Stephen Nash, immediately from Westfleld, but previously from Ilad- 
ley, who is said to have moved to this town from a desire to enjoy the 
ministry of Mr. Edwards ; that of Josiah Jones, Jr.; and those of James 
Wilson, from Spencer, Thomas Sherman, and Solomon Gleazen, from "Wor- 
cester. 

The wife of President Edwards was a daughter of Eev. James Pierpont, 
of New-Haven. They had ten children : Sarah, the wife of Elihu Parsons, 
of this town ; Jerusha, who died in Northampton ; Esther, the wife of Presi- 
dent Burr; Mary, the wife of Col. Timothy D wight, of Northampton, and 
mother of President Dwight ; Lucy, the wife of Hon. Jahleel Woodbridge, 
of this town ; Timothy, the late Hon. Timothy Edwards, also of this town ; 
Susanna, the wife of Eleazer Porter, of Hadley ; Eunice, the wife of Thomas 
Pollock, of North Carolina ; Jonathan, President of Union College ; Elizabeth, 
who died unmarried ; and Pierrepont, a distinguished lawyer in New-Haven, 
and late Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of 
Connecticut. 

Soon after the dismission of Mr. Edwards, the minds of the people and ol 
the Commissioners were drawn towards the late venerable Dr. Stephen 
West, son of Zebulon West, Esq., of Tolland, Conn. He was graduated at 
Yale College in 1755, where he had the reputation of a sound classical 
scholar. After leaving college, he taught a school in Hatfield, and studied 
theology with Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, of that place. The Association of 
Hampshire county licensed him to preach, probably in 1757, soon after 
which he was appointed chaplain at Fort Massachusetts, in Adams ; and 
from that place he came to this town in Nov., 1758, where he was ordained, 
June 13, 1759. 

For several years he communicated instruction, as his predecessors had done, 
both to the Indian and Enghsh inhabitants. His common practice was to preach 
to the Indians Sabbath morning by an interpreter, and to the English in the 
afternoon. But as it was very ditflcult to get a suitable interpreter, and as 
the English rapidly increased from abroad, and became capable of support- 
ing the gospel themselves, Dr. West, in 1775, relinquished the instruction 
of the Indians, and with it the income received from the Commissioners, to 
Mr. John Sergeant, son of the first missionary, who perfectly understood 
their language, and had received a respectable education at Newark, N. J. 
The Indian professors, however, were not immediately formed into a new 
church. But in 1785, as they were about to remove on to a tract of land 
given them by the Oneidas, called New-Stockbridge, they were formed into 
a church by themselves. The number of professors among them then was 
sixteen only. From this period, Mr. Sergeant regularly spent six months 
with them yearly, until 1706, when he moved his family and settled with 
them, and remained their minister until his death, Sept. 8, 1824, at the age 
of 77. Some years afterwards, they removed to Green Bay, where the little

church still lives, has been visited by the Spirit of God, and has from time 
to time received some accessions from the world. 

When Dr. West was ordained in this town, there were about twenty log 
huts in Pittsfield; but with that exception, the whole country nortliward was 
a wilderness to Canada. To the west, there were some Dutch settlements 
near the Hudson and on the Mohawk ; but westward, there were no English 
settlements quite onward to the Pacific Ocean, and but few French settle- 
ments, and those distant from each other. Wild men and wild beasts held 
dominion over almost the whole of this vast region. But in the southern 
part of Berkshire there were some English settlements, and four settled 
ministers, viz.: Jonathan Hubbard in Sheffield, Thomas Strong in New-Marl- 
borough, Adonijah Bid well in Tyringham, and Samuel Hopkins in Great 
Barrington. With Mr. Hopkins, who was nearest to him, he early con- 
tracted an intimate and, as the result shows, a very happy friendship. 
Their minds were similar : both were fond of research and discussion. Dr. 
West was dissatisfied with what his predecessor, "President Edwards, had 
written on the freedom of the will, and on many points relative to the 
distinguishing doctrines of grace." These became the subjects of free and 
repeated conversation ; and the effect was, (like the effect of the communica- 
tions between the Kev. John Newton and Dr. Scott, though the mode was 
different,) that Dr. West gave up his hope of a personal interest in Christ, 
which he had long entertained, and was convinced that, while he had under- 
taken the charge of souls, his own soul had been neglected. His sense of 
sin was deep and pungent, his solicitude strong, and at times almost over- 
whelming. But the Lord was pleased soon to relieve him, to make him the 
subject of new views and affections, and to give him a good lioi^e through 
grace. The reality and greatness of this change readily appeared in the 
solemnity, fervency, and pungency of his preaching, and in the humility 
and goodness of his subsequent life, which was extended to an unusual 
pei'iod. 

This change, so far as man was concerned, is traceable to the faithfulness 
of the celebrated David Brainerd, whom we have had occasion to mention as 
missionary to the Kau-nau-meck Indians, while he was a student at Yale 
College. Dr. Hopkins, a student at the same time, had made a profession of 
religion, but knew not the preciousncss of the Saviour. While in conversation 
with him, Mr. Brainerd observed that it was impossible for any man to be a 
real Christian who was not sometimes deeply affected in contemplating the 
character of Christ. This, Hopkins could not but admit to be a truth ; but 
he was conscious of no such love ; and the impression did not leave him 
until he found joy and peace in believing in Jesus. By this change he was 
prepared to be the means of the conversion of Dr. West. 

Soon after the conversion of the latter, he most carefully examined the 
doctrines of revelation, with a mature and cultivated understanding, and 
with an ardent desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus. And what hfr 
learned he communicated. He preached, particularly, a series of discourses 
in which he dwelt extensively upon the character and government of God,, 
and upon the dependence and accountability of man ; the substance of

which was first published in 1772, and republished with an appendix in 
1794. The fame produced by this essay induced young men who were 
looking forward to the ministry to repair to him for guidance and assistance 
in their studies immediately preparatory to their entrance upon the sacred 
oflBce. These were so pleased with his instructions, piety, and exemplary 
conduct, that they were followed by others ; so that for the space of thirty- 
five or forty years, some students were under his care. Most of these were 
graduates of the colleges then existing in New-England ; one or more were 
graduated at Princeton ; some of them were eminent in the ministry, and 
generally they honored their calling. Some settled in towns in this county. 
Among these clergymen, we may mention Samuel Spring, of Newburyport; 
Seth Swift, of Williamstown ; Gordon Dorrance, of Windsor ; Jacob Catlin, 
D.D., of New-Marlborough ; Elijah "Wheeler, of Great Barrington ; Samuel 
Whelpley, Gamaliel Smith Olds, LL. D., and Thomas Kobbins, D. D. 

These facts imply that Dr. West had great influence. Placed over the 
church in Stockbridge while most of the county of Berkshire was unset- 
tled, and all of the adjoining towns except Great Barrington, the pious 
who early settled in the neighborhood looked to him as a counsellor and a 
father. He assisted in the formation of new churches, and in the ordination 
of many of the first pastors of them. For many years he was the standing 
Moderator of Berkshire Association, and was venerated by all the members. 
When Williams College was granted in 1793, lie was named as one of the 
trustees ; and when the corporation first met, he was elected Vice-President 
of the Institution. 

In preaching, he dwelt principally upon the doctrines of grace, the value 
of which he deeply felt, and which he longed to have others enjoy. He 
was much in the habit of giving instruction in an expository form ; and dur- 
ing his ministry, he passed three times through the New Testament, expound- 
ing the sacred oracles verse by verse, " with a propriety, an acuteness, and 
vigor," says Mr. Samuel Whelpley, who studied theology with him, and was 
a very competent judge of ministerial effort, " of which this country has 
seen no parallel." In his expositions he was not so much confined to notes 
as in his sermons; and warmed by his subject, and by the impulses of the 
moment, he was sometimes truly eloquent. By this kind of instruction his 
people were greatly aided in the study of the Scriptures. Another method by 
which their religious knowledge was greatly advanced, was the establishment 
of meetings on week-days, in which the young were invited to write and 
speak on subjects or on passages of Scripture previously given out, and in 
which he met with them. In these they were greatly interested. Hence 
the church acquired a high reputation for intelligence. I once heard the late 
Gov. Smith, of Connecticut, (whose father has been mentioned as teacher 
for a time in the Stockbridge Mission, and who himself resided here in his 
youth, when Dr. West was making his greatest efforts,) say, that the church 
in Stockbridge was the best indoctrinated church in the country. 

Nor did instruction fail of a sanctifying effect. Dr. West was wise in win- 
ning souls. There was a revival here in the years 1778, 1782, 1790, '91, '92, 
and 1799. But the most extensive revival which occurred during his minis" 



HISTORICAL SKETCH, 15 

try was in 1813, when he had the assistance of a colleague, Rev. Ephraim 
G. Swift, whom he had instructed in theology, as he had also done his 
father. Rev. Seth Swift. This colleague was ordained Sept. 20, 1810 ; and 
after this date the duties of the ministry were discharged by them jointly. 
Things passed along in this manner for some time to their mutual satisfac- 
tion, and to the satisfaction of the people. At length, however, a complaint 
was brought into the church against one of the members, attended with 
peculiar circumstances, about which the pastors and the members of the 
church entertained different opinions, and which produced for a time unhap- 
py divisions, and much trouble. One effect of this was, that both pastors 
were dismissed at the same time, August 27, 1818. 

After this event Dr. AVest was rarely able to appear in public, though on 
the first Sabbaths in November and January following, he administered the 
Lord's Supper to the church, and on the 10th of February attended a 
funeral. From the last period, he was confined to his house, and mostly to 
his bed, until Saturday, the 13th of May, 1819, when he expired, in the 81th 
year of his age. 

Mr. Swift is still living. For eleven years he preached at Humphreysville 
and Bethany, in Connecticut, and on the 11th of December, 1833, was 
installed pastor of the church in North Killingworth, in the same State. 
The people had been unhappily divided ; but under his ministry they were 
harmonized, and through the influences of the Divine Spirit, the church was 
enlarged. In 1850, advancing years and infirmity induced him to signify to 
his peojile that he must leave them, and he used his influence to secure to 
them a successor. This object was attained in November of the same j'ear, 
when, in connection with his dismission, Rev. Hiram Bell, who had been min- 
ister in Marlborough, was installed pastor of the church. Mr. Swift has 
since lived generally in the neighboring town of Chester. 

Eev. David D. Fields D. D., native of East Guilford, now Madison, Conn., 
gi'aduate of Yale College, who studied theology with Dr. Charles Backus, of 
Somers, and who had been pastor of the First Congregational Church in 
Haddam, from April 11, 1804, until April 11, 1818, was installed in Stock- 
bridge, Aug. 25, 1819, and remained pastor of the church until Feb. 12, 
1837 ; when, having been invited back to the charge of his former church, he 
was dismissed at his own request, and installed in Haddam, April 11, 1837, 
where he continued pastor seven years, viz.: until April 11, 1844 ; after which, 
he was stated supply generally to the congregation in Higganum, in the 
same town, until July 1, 1850. In the spring of the following year, he 
returned to Stockbridge, which is his present residence. During his min- 
istry in Stockbridge there were three seasons of unusual attention to the 
concerns of the soul. The first and most extensive of these was in 1821, when 
the First Church and congregation embraced all the Congregationalists in the 
town, and when almost all the ministerial services were performed by the 
pastor. As fruits of this revival, 94 were added to the church, while a few 
in the north-east part of the town, being much nearer to churches in 
Lenox, are believed to have made a profession there. 

In the close of 1823, the subject of building a third house for public 



IG HISTORICAL SKETCH. 

worship was agitated, and it was finally voted that this should be erected 
within a given number of rods of the ancient graveyard on the Plain. This 
location was dissatisfactory to a considerable number of the people in the 
north part of the town, and they withdrew from the worship of the church 
and congregation, and were formed into a separate church and congregation, 
before the new edifice was completed. Sixty-three members who were dis- 
missed from the first church, were formed into the new church on the 24th 
of Dec, 1824. The edifice built by the First Society being completed, it 
was dedicated on the 25th of January, 1825. 

The feelings produced by the division of the old church and congregation 
at the time were unfriendly to the revival of religion ; but they gradually 
subsided, and we have reason to rejoice that they are nearly or quite gone 
from both churches and congregations. In 1827, the place was visited 
again by the renewing influences of the Holy Ghost. As fruits of this revi- 
val, fifty-five persons were received into the First Church. In 1831, as the 
fruits of another revival, twenty -nine were admitted ; while in other years, 
smaller numbers were received. The whole number admitted to the church 
by Dr. Field from the world, was 221, and from other churches on recom- 
mendation, 51 ; total, 272. 

Rev. Tertius S. Clarke, a native of West Hampton, and graduate of Yale 
College in 1824, who had been settled in South Deerfield, and also in Had- 
dam, was installed in Stockbridge, June 15, 1837, where he remained pastor 
until May 5, 1850. During his ministry there were revivals in 1838, 1842, 
and 1849. The number admitted to the church by him was, from the 
world, 124, and from other churches, 67 ; total, 191. Since leaving Stock- 
bridge, Mr. Clarke has been settled at Penn Yan, N. Y., but is now settled 
at Frankhn, N. Y. 

Rev. A. H. Dashiell, Jun., the present pastor, born near Baltimore, 
graduated at Delaware College in 1843, and at the Union Theological Semi- 
nary in the city of New- York in 1847, was ordained in December of that 
year, in St. Louis. He was installed in Stockbridge, Dec. 11, 1850. The 
number admitted to the church by him is : from the world, 24 ; and 
from other churches, 7. 

It has been ah-eady noticed how unsettled this county generally was when 
Dr. West was oi-dained in this place, with the exception of towns in the 
south. When scattered settlements were commenced in other directions 
immediately about the place, the people, so far as they regarded religious 
privileges, naturally sought instruction here ; and therefore, when churches 
were formed in them, such as had been connected with this church were 
recommended to be constituent members of them. This was true of West 
Stockbridge, at first a part of this town. That place was incorporated as a 
town in 1774; a meeting-house was built in 1778, which still remains, and 
the Congregational Church was organized June 4, 1770, with ten members, 
seven males and three females. The people have generally been fiivored 
with preaching by pastors or stated supplies — to an unusual extent by the 
latter. Rev. Oliver Ayres, Joseph Edwards, John Waters, Nathan Shaw, 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 17 

Munson C. Gaylord, and Sydney Bryant, the present pastor, have been set- 
tled there. 

The admissions to the church, including the constituent members, have 
been 397. 

The Second Congregational Church in "West Stockbridge, formed at the 
village, Dec. 25, 1833, consisted of 25 members: 13 from other churches, and 
12 on profession. This has had three pastors, viz.: Rev. Charles Lester, 
John Whiton, and Nathaniel Lasell. The total of members from the begin- 
ning has been 162; 65 males and 97 females. 

A little time before the close of the last century, a large numder of fami- 
lies moved from Berkshire county, and some from Stockbridge, to a portion 
of country in New- York called Chenango. Members from this church took 
letters to churches formed in that region. 

About 1818, a number of families moved from this place to Brownhelm, 
Lorain county, Ohio. Nineteen persons, Jan. 25, 1819, were recommended 
from this church as suitable subjects for membership in the church about to 
be formed there. 

The formation of the North Church in this town, now usually known as 
the Cui'tisville Church, has been already noticed. This has had the follow- 
ing pastors, viz.: Rev. Nathan Shaw, Joseph Hurlburt, Joel T. Headley, 
Ralph Smith, M. D., S. P. Giddings, and Winthrop H. Phelps. 

Two hundred and eighty-seven members have been received into the 
church at Curtisville since its organization, making, with the sixty-three 
constituent members, 350. The congregation has been favored with several 
seasons of revival. But a large portion of the people being engaged in 
manufactures, the changes and fluctuations incident to manufacturing villages 
have affected the church. Many members have come in from other places, 
and been received here on letters, while they, or others, have been soon dis- 
missed. ' ' ence the present number of resident members is but sixty : nine- 
teen males and forty-one females. The total of memlers is somewhat more.

Rule VT. Tn all cases where public fiime charges any member of this Church 
with any offence, it shall be the duty of the Deacons, (others failing to do it,) to 
investigate the charges and prepare them for the action of the Church in due form. 
2 Cor. 8. 23. 

Rule VII. No offence in any brother shall be brought before the Church till the 
private steps have been taken with him, prescribed in the 18th of Matthew by our 
blessed Lord, b In case the residence of the offending brother is unknown, or so 
distant as to preclude the taking of the preliminary steps, a vote of the Church 
6hall decide the course to be pursued in the premises. 

6 Matt. 18. 15, 16. Tit. 3. 10. 

Rule VIII. No confession for an offence shall be exhibited in public, until it has 
first been laid before the brethren for their approbation ; and if the offence have 
been of a public nature or have become a matter of public notoriety, the confession 
shall be made before the Church and Congregation united, c 

cEzra 10. 11. Ps. 51. Matt. 3. 6. Acts 19. 18, 19. 

Rule IX. "Whenever there appears to be any considerable disagreement of 
opinion in the minds of the brethren respecting any cause at its first hearing, which 
may affect the state of the Church, the meeting shall be adjourned by the Mode- 
rator, that the brethren may have further opportunity to canvass the subject, and that 
they may become united and harmonious in their views and proceedings, d 

e?Prov. 17. 14. Eph.4. 3. Heb. 12. 15. 1 Cor. 14. 33. 

Rule X. The members of this Church believe, that the Scriptm^es require all 
heads of famihes to worship God with their households, e 

eJosh. 24. 15. Chron. 16. 43. Matt. 18. 20. Eph, 6. 18. 

Rule XI. They believe it unlawful for professors of religion to marry profane, 
immoral persons./ 
/ Deut. 7. 3, 4. Mai. 2. 11, 12. 1 Cor. 7. 39. 2 Cor. 6. 14, 

Rule XII. They believe it unbecoming the professed followers of the Redeemer 
to practise promiscuous dancing as an amusement. They deem the amusement a 
sinful waste of time and property ; prejudicial to the growth of religion in the soul, 
and unhappy in its influence in society ; and if persisted in, to be properly cen- 
surable by the Church, g 

g^om. 12. 1, 2. Job 21. 11—14. Matt. 14. 6—11. 

Rule XIII. They regard the traffic in intoxicating liquors for common drink as an 
immorality which demands the disciphne of the Church. Prov. 20. 1. Hab. 2. 15. 
Rom. 13. 10. 

Rule XIY. No meeting of the Church shall be valid, unless notice of the time 
and place be given publicly on the Sabbath. 1 Cor. 14. 10. 

RuLK XV. This Church believe that it is a duty enjoined in the Scriptures, that 
those who profess friendship for Christ should contribute of their substance, as the 
Lord has prospered them, for the support of the public institutions of the Gospel, 
and therefore, that those who refuse to do this, -violate their obligations to the great 
Head of the Church, and their solemn covenant vows. 1 Cor. 9. 7-14. 1 Tim. 5. 
7,18.

Note. — Although a great deal of labor and research has been expended in the 
preparation of the foregoing c .talogue, and much care has been bestowed to render 
it correct and reliable, yet the Committee do not flatter themselves that it is with- 
out some (though they trust few) errors. It could scarcely be otherwise in the 
compilation of accounts extending back one hundred and twenty years. Despite all 
wislies and endeavors contrariwise, some names — particularly the family names of 
married women — are still wanting : a fact denoted by the blanks left in the record 
of their married names. 

Persons abroad who may be possessed of the information necessary to fill those 
blanks, will confer a great favor on the Stockbridge Church by forwarding it to any 
one of the Committee, and thus aid in rendering subsequent editions of our manual 
complete.

aged 86 years. 

Rev. A. H. Dashiell was dismissed in April 1860. During the war of the rebellion 
he ofiBciated as a most useful and beloved Chaplain of the 57th Reg. Mass. Vols., and

enjoyed during his ministry. 

December 25th, 1860, Rev. N. H. Eggleston, a native of Hartford, Conn., and a 
graduate of Tale in the class of 1840, was iusialled over this Church. Up to the pres- 
ent time, under his ministry there have been C4 additions to the Church from the 
world, and 33 from other churches. In March of the present year, (1868) Rev. Mr. 
Eggleston presented his request for a dismission, which the Church and Society ac- 
cepted, to take effect on or before the 1st of April 1869.
